had the relief I experienced with this one
MELT session...thank you...I want more!”

Tai Chi - Meditation in Motion
An exercise class promoting peace and body
awareness
Instructor: Nick Lape
Ages: 16+
10-week session
This program is for anyone who wants to
improve their physical, emotional and maybe
spiritual balance. The design of this program
has been proven to help people with arthritis
and fibromyalgia by reducing joint pain and
stiffness, improving balance, reducing falls,
and to building up cardio-vascular function,
muscle strength and stamina. Despite its
famous super-slow, body moves, it will give
you a workout and it belongs to that group of
exercises designed for “fascia fitness.”
Based on sun style tai chi, it is different from
some tai chi forms you might be familiar with.
It’s kinder to your joints and its emphasis
is on balance, agility, breath work and inner
calm. Most of all, it is about becoming more
aware of and more connected to one’s body.
No equipment or special gear required—just
comfortable clothes and a good pair of socks.
You don’t have to have arthritis to benefit and
anybody can learn to do it.

“In an attempt to get home in time to
see my son before he left for daycare this
morning I forgot to say thank you for
the last 10 weeks. I feel stronger and am
starting to feel more like myself again. This
class allowed me to make myself a priority
when it felt like my body didn’t belong to
me for so long. So again, thank you. I look
forward to getting even stronger during
round 2!”
